As the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. … Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. … The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
– John 5:21, 24, 25
It is the living Christ, the practical Truth, which makes Jesus “the resurrection and the life” to all who follow him in deed. Obeying his precious precepts, – following his demonstration so far as we apprehend it, – we drink of his cup, partake of his bread, are baptized with his purity; and at last we shall rest, sit down with him, in a full understanding of the divine Principle which triumphs over death.
– Mary Baker Eddy, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” p. 31
